Description
Hoang and co-authors pool research on heart failure in older adults who face homelessness. Knowing how common heart failure is in this group is key to fair care design. Older people without stable housing often miss routine heart checks and medication support that keep the condition stable.
The team ran a systematic search of databases including MEDLINE for past studies. Their meta-analysis combined prevalence and risk data across those studies. The pooled picture shows the burden of heart failure in homeless older adults. It also highlights gaps in care that housing and health services could jointly address.
